Beauty: Anastasia Beverly Hills pro series contour kit review
Hi babes! Today I'm reviewing one of the most influential, hyped makeup products of the last few years: the Anastasia Beverly Hills pro series contour kit. ABH was one of the first brands that created high quality contouring products geared at "casual" makeup lovers rather than makeup artists, and this pro series contour kit is incredibly popular. When contouring was at its peak a few years ago, this palette was constantly sold out, and for good reason: the colours are versatile, the powders are neutral in undertone, and the blendability and pigmentation is amazing.
If you're pale like me you can use a light hand and blend them out, or you can use the product more heavily if you have medium skintone. In sum: instead of having one or two shades that suit your complexion, like with most contouring kits geared at professionals, you will be able to use all of these powders if you have light-medium skintone. This makes it worth its €54.90 pricetag (available at Planet Parfum in Belgium).
Let me demonstrate the awesomeness of this contour kit.

Beauty: H&M Strobing Palette review
Another day, another highlighting product review. I hope you're still as into the trend as I am! As much as I love a matte look from time to time, this end of winter/early spring weather makes me want to turn around my beauty routine, go back to something dewy, glowy, fresh and easy. Highlighting is the BEST way to brighten up dull or sallow winter complexion with minimal effort, and allowing your skin to breathe.
I spotted this limited edition Strobing Palette at H&M's beauty counter, and its six cream highlighters made it impossible for me not to swatch away. After swatching I fell in love (ugh I never learn), and although I walked away that first time (the last thing I need is more highlighters), I returned a week later because I couldn't put this palette out of my head. Since it's just €15, I allowed myself to go for it. And now I can review it for you guys, so enjoy!

Review: Zaful swimsuits
Hi guys! If you're on Facebook, you have undoubtedly spotted those Zaful FB ads. Gorgeous babes in super cute swimsuits, what's not to like? Well, for one, Zaful has been getting some mixed reviews. I've heard of long shipping times and low quality, but also very positive impressions of customers. I have quite some experience with Asian webshops (as a blogger, it sort of comes with the territory), so when Zaful contacted me for a collaboration, I figured I could do an honest, thorough review of my experience with Zaful to help you guys decide whether to take the gamble!

The past week has been nothing short of amazing, weather-wise. Nothing refuels my batteries like some time in the sun, and these first spring days were just what I needed. I'm still stressed out with a million things on my to-do list in this last stretch of finishing my PhD, but I have a bit less anxiety when the sun is out ;-) And look at those first spring blossoms! I love seeing the seasons change in my outfit pictures - just a couple of weeks before the magnolias in full bloom again, and I always look forward to that so much.
Friday night, my sister and I took the train to Brussels to go to the Beauty and the Beast avant première and had an absolutely lovely time. Great movie, gorgeous venue, good company - unforgettable experience. I can't recommend the movie enough btw, if you love that Disney magic ;-)
I hope you're having a lovely weekend! Btw, I might blog a bit more inconsistently over the next couple of weeks, since I'm so busy at work right now, but I'll still do my best to drop by regularly.

Beauty: Dior Addict Lacquer Stick review
It's Friday and I'm feeling alive, people. Well, I'm actually feeling braindead after writing parts of my PhD's conclusion (I hate writing conclusions), so please excuse me if this post is filled with spelling mistakes. I'll do my best to keep it 100. Let's talk about Dior's new Addict Lacquer sticks!
Glossy, saturated lipcolours has been THE trend for the past few months (see MAC liptensity, for example), and Dior is presenting its own take on the look for spring 2017. I received two shades, 877 Turn Me and 924 Sauvage. As always, Dior's products look gorgeous, exuding luxury. But do they stand out in other ways? Let's find out!

Yesterday, Microsoft unveiled to the world its Windows 8 Release Preview. The release will be the last before Microsoft ships Windows 8 later this year.
The Release Preview contained plenty for industry observers and the curious to digest. There are performance improvements, more apps, better support for multiple monitors and so on and so forth.
Bundled with Windows 8 is Internet Explorer 10, the newest version of Microsoft's web browser. Microsoft believes it's the best, most capable version of its often-criticized browser software ever, and it might also prove to be be the most controversial, but not for the reasons you might guess.
Why's that? Microsoft announced yesterday that, by default, IE10 will ship with a 'Do Not Track' feature turned on.
"We believe that consumers should have more control over how information about their online behavior is tracked, shared and used," Microsoft's Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch wrote. "Of course, we hope that many consumers will see this value and make a conscious choice to share information in order to receive more personalized ad content. For us, that is the key distinction," he added.
As Wired's Ryan Singel notes, Microsoft's move could be a blow to the online advertising industry, which has sought to promote privacy legislation that doesn't restrict the ability of ad companies to collect personal data too greatly, "Consider this scenario: If indeed the net's major advertisers obeyed Do Not Track and IE 10 keeps the default, more than a quarter of the net's users would be opted out of behavioral ad tracking by default," Singel writes.
Microsoft's announcement comes at a time when plenty of companies are grappling with privacy-related issues. In Europe, of course, the new EU cookie law has created plenty of headaches for publishers and advertising firms alike as they rush to implement solutions that may or may not be compliant. It's so bad that EU institutions apparently can't even deal with the law.
Interestingly, if more browser makers follow in Microsoft's footsteps and turn 'Do Not Track' functionality by default, it could render the EU's approach to this thorny issue moot. After all, if most browsers support 'Do Not Track' and publishers (by choice or by force) respect 'Do Not Track' preferences, the requirements of the EU cookie law would arguably for all intents and purposes be useless.
Of course, we're not there yet and it remains to be seen how the privacy wars will play out. But one thing is for sure: in the drive to 'protect privacy', things are going to get a lot more confusing, costly and inconvenient for publishers, advertisers and, sadly, the very people everyone says they're trying to protect -- consumers.
Comments (4)
I dont believe Google Chrome would ever turn this on by default - unless they are forced to, purely due to the ad revenue they generate as a business through GDN and Adwords.
Its a shame that the knee-jerk reaction has been taken and not a proper legislation that has been considered and calculated between all parties.
Thanks for another great article
Will this prevent analytics tools like Google Analytics from tracking web visits? This would extremely disappointing.
I'm also interested as to whether this will prevent Google Analytics from tracking web behavior? Also, how will it affect the inbuilt analytics of CMS products such as Sitecore? Any input would be appreciated.
Apparantly Google Analytics is exempted from Microsoft's DNT. On the opther hand, Google advertising data would be affected.

Fatal shooting victim's twin brother also shot
Gunfire at 27th and Spencer streets leaves one metro man dead, and police are still looking for the shooter.
Emergency crews were called to the Omaha Housing Authority's Spencer Apartments around 7 p.m. Sunday, where they found a man with a gunshot wound on the porch of a home.
Witnesses said there was some sort of standoff between two or more men, and more than one of them had a gun.
They said a group came around the apartment and got into an argument with someone about a sibling, and then one witness said several shots rang out.
Police identified the man as 28-year-old Kevin McIntyre.
McIntyre's aunt said she tried to save his life.
"Me and one of my friends was applying pressure to his wound, hoping we could save him until the ambulance got here," she said.
Police said a second shooting victim walked into Alegent Creighton Health Creighton University Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
The second victim was identified as McIntyre's twin brother, Branden.
Authorities said both victims were attending a party at the shooting scene.
Anyone with information on the case should call a detective at 402-444-5652. If you want to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward, call Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867.

TriLink Awarded SBIR Phase I Grant: Thermally Activatable Probes and Cofactors for Hot Start Ligase Chain Reaction
Mar 15, 2011, 08:00 ET
SAN DIEGO, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TriLink BioTechnologies, Inc. (TriLink) was recently awarded a Phase I SBIR Grant of approximately $100,000 by the National Institutes of Health to develop a Hot Start approach for Ligase Chain Reaction (LCR). Hot Start LCR will employ chemically modified ligation components containing thermolabile protecting groups to eliminate common performance problems seen in LCR, such as false-positive signals and non-specificity. TriLink hopes to find similar benefits as those found in development of their Hot Start primers and dNTPs. If successful, this approach could allow LCR to replace applications where traditional PCR, Gap-LCR and PCR/ligation combination approaches are too expensive, not applicable or problematic. This is the fifth Phase I grant TriLink has been awarded, and it will be funded through July 2011.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to test our proven Hot Start approach on an application with the potential to capture a significant portion of the PCR market," remarked Dr. Alexandre Lebedev, Senior Principal Scientist.
"Moving into LCR is a natural progression for TriLink. While developing our successful CleanAmp™ PCR products and our ongoing ligation work, we gained a unique perspective on the limitations of LCR, and the technical knowledge to solve them," stated TriLink's President and CEO, Richard Hogrefe.
About TriLink

In addition, custom chemistry, contract research services and ISO/QSR compliant cGMP production facilities are offered. TriLink's solutions help advance drug discovery and biomedical research.

Second Twitter hoax in two days, hits another stock
Sarepta Therapeutics Inc became the second company in as many days to see its shares plunge as a result of a Twitter hoax on Wednesday after a user posed as an influential short-seller and alleged improprieties at the biopharmaceutical company.
Sarepta Therapeutics shares plummeted 9.9 percent in a matter of seconds after someone with the Twitter user name @citreonresearc alleged improprieties at the company.
The drop mirrored a similar incident on Tuesday, when Audience Inc fell more than 25 percent following tweets that at a glance looked to be from Muddy Waters, another short-selling firm.
Just as Muddy Waters confirmed it did not send such a tweet about Audience, so too did Andrew Left, the California-based investor who runs Citron, said his company did not send a message about Sarepta.
The twin incidents targeted a pair of Nasdaq stocks that are not among the most actively traded on a daily basis, showing how certain company shares are vulnerable to information posted on social media networks, even if the information is misleading. Sarepta, on average, trades about 1.4 million shares a day; by contrast, average daily volume in chipmaker Intel Corp is about 52 million shares.
"You need a more volatile stock for this kind of manipulation - obviously if you were to try it on IBM it wouldn't work," said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. "It speaks to the structure of the market where shallow pools of liquidity can be easily pierced on bad news, even if the news is fake."
The US Securities and Exchange Commission had no comment. Twitter did not respond to an emailed request for comment on the messaging activity, but the @citreonresearc account has been suspended. The Twitter account @Mudd1waters, whose Twitter home page looks like Muddy Waters, was still active.
The tweet, with the user name "@citreonresearc," alleged that drug trial results from the biopharmaceutical company had been tainted and doctored, according to screen shots of the posting captured by Twitter users. Sarepta was not immediately available for comments on the trading activity or the account, which has since been suspended.
Matt, a trader in San Diego who did not want to give his last name, but who goes by the handle @given2tweet on Twitter, said, "There's a real severity to that tweet. It's at the core of what the company is, is this one trial."
Sarepta shares recovered after the brief fall. It was trading up 1.4 percent to $27.56 on volume of about 3.5 million shares in afternoon trading. More than 700,000 shares traded in the one minute when the stock suffered its steep decline.
The company, which has a market cap of about $692 million, is volatile, moving more than 1 percent in six of the past seven sessions. It jumped 477 percent in 2012 alone.
Audience went public in May 2012 and has a market cap of $254 million as of Tuesday's closing price, rising about 15 percent so far this year. The stock's 50-day average daily volume is slightly more than 160,000 shares, but that rose to more than 800,000 on Tuesday.
"Not really an efficient market when fake twitter accounts can crash stocks," Tim McClure, equity trader at SMB Capital in New York, wrote on his Twitter page.
Shares of Audience were briefly halted on Tuesday, but Sarepta shares did not reach a threshold necessary to trigger a halt. A Nasdaq spokesperson was not available for comment.

Singer Gwen Stefani's love of fashion is rubbing off on her No Doubt bandmates - the group has joined forces with clothing brand Fred Perry to launch its own apparel collection.
The Don't Speak hitmakers - made up of frontwoman Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young - have been working on a line inspired by their ska and reggae music, and they unveiled the finished products online on Friday (07Dec12), ahead of their January (13) release.
The styles include a classic Fred Perry polo shirt, a V neck tartan sweater and a bomber jacket. Prices for the range start at $95 .
Stefani has already made a name for herself in the fashion industry - she founded her L.A.M.B. label in 2004 and has held regular showcases at New York Fashion Week and other big style events ever since.
The design team at Fred Perry has previously worked with tragic soul star Amy Winehouse. Her final line for the company went on sale last year (11), with proceeds benefiting the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity set up in her memory to help troubled youths.

Building JSDT on WTP 2.0 for the next ATF milestone
JSDT is planned for WTP 3.0. Even though ATF originally proposed JSDT and many of the same developers contribute to both efforts, JSDT technically is (and has been) part of the WTP Project, under it's general "Source Editing" project. Where JSDT development resides will make little difference to users of ATF, since ATF has always been dependent on WTP. Discussion about JSDT should occur on the WTP mailing list and forums.

High Number of HIV Cases Found Among Female Inmates in Washington, D.C.
August 2, 2007
A high number of HIV cases has been detected among female inmates in the Washington, D.C., jail, according to data released recently by the district Department of Health as part of a summary of its six-month campaign encouraging district residents to be tested for HIV, the Washington Post reports (Levine, Washington Post, 8/2).
According to officials, fighting the spread of HIV in the district's jail is essential to citywide efforts because nine out of 10 inmates are released within 30 days. The district's jail is one of a few facilities nationwide that automatically tests for HIV upon entry and release unless an inmate refuses to receive a test. According to district officials, fewer than 10% of inmates refuse a test. The not-for-profit group Unity Health Care provides treatment for inmates who test positive for the virus, the Post reports.
A December 2006 report by the DC Appleseed Center for Law and Justice praised the Department of Corrections' approach to testing inmates but said the department should provide counseling and HIV/AIDS education for all inmates, regardless of their HIV status, the Post reports. According to Brown, such efforts have been implemented, beginning with HIV-themed programs played on the jail's television system. "You literally have a captive audience," he said, adding that women pay closer attention to the programs than men (Washington Post, 8/2).

UNT offers a Master of Arts and a Master of Science with majors in interdisciplinary studies. A minimum of 36 semester hours of graduate courses is required for this degree. However, the program offers the student a high degree of flexibility in the selection of course work.
The major in interdisciplinary studies is coordinated directly by the associate dean of the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies. Prospective applicants for this program should discuss their plans with the associate dean.
Note: Admission requirements were being revised at the time this catalog went to press. Contact the Toulouse Shool of Graduate Studies or the program for current admission requirements, or see information posted on the graduate school web site (www.tsgs.unt.edu).
Applicants for admission to the degree program in interdisciplinary studies must submit (1) a completed School of Graduate Studies application form, (2) complete transcripts and (3) a written statement outlining the course work areas to be combined on the degree and the goals the applicant hopes to accomplish by completing the degree. In addition, applicants are required to present satisfactory scores on the aptitude test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). A total of 1000 on the combined verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE is required, and the score on each of the sections must be at least 400. All of the above materials and scores must be submitted prior to any enrollment for courses leading to the degree.
For both the Master of Science and Master of Arts with a major in interdisciplinary studies, the degree program must include no fewer than three separate fields of study with at least 6 hours in each field. For all sequences no more than 15 hours (including thesis and special problems) may be taken under any one course prefix or subject field. In addition, students may take no more than 15 hours from the College of Business Administration. A special committee, representative of each of the several disciplines of the student's program, will be formed to help the student develop the degree plan and supervise the student's progress.
Students may choose the non-thesis option and complete at least 36 semester hours for a Master of Arts or Master of Science. Thesis option requires 30 semester hours plus 6 hours of thesis, for a total of 36 hours. Students must meet the foreign language requirement for the Master of Arts.
For either degree, a comprehensive final examination, oral and/or written, must be completed, ordinarily during the final semester of enrollment. The examination is prepared, administered and evaluated by the members of the student's advisory committee.
Two possible approaches can be taken to designing an acceptable interdisciplinary studies degree program for either the Master of Arts or Master of Science.
Under the first approach, the candidate may plan a program designed to serve a particular intellectual interest not met by any specific degree program available through the traditional disciplines, making use of existing courses from any graduate area of the university.
Under the second approach, students pursue one of several interdisciplinary themes.
These themes provide a somewhat more specialized focus while maintaining the interdisciplinary nature of the program. Each theme generally requires a common core of courses closely related to the area of interest, with provision for inclusion in the program of a number of electives drawn from several disciplines. In developing programs under these themes, students still must meet the general requirements for the interdisciplinary studies degree outlined above. Prospective students should note that in all cases the degree awarded upon completion of the program is a Master of Arts or Science with a major in interdisciplinary studies. This approach is not the same as pursuing a degree with a major in a specific discipline.
University courses are interdisciplinary in nature and are available to students working toward the master's degree with the interdisciplinary major.
All Courses of Instruction are located in one section at the back of this catalog.

The interdisciplinary doctoral program in information science responds to the varied and changing needs of an information age. There is increasing recognition of the central role of information in individual, social, economic and cultural affairs, and the widespread application and influence of the revolutionary information and communication technologies. Graduates of the program will be prepared to contribute materially to the advancement and evolution of the information society. Such individuals will work in a variety of roles and application settings in information agencies as administrators, researchers and educators. The multifaceted nature of information requires the focusing of resources, courses and faculties from a broad range of academic units.
At UNT, five units participate in the doctoral program. These units are:
The program emphasizes the interrelationship of the economic, social, cultural and technological aspects of an evolving information society. The goal is to unify knowledge systems, problem-solving approaches and research methodologies regardless of their disciplinary roots, and to produce graduates who will be leaders in the information age.
Although technology is a vital part of the program, computers and communication systems are but one dimension of information science. Thus, the program is directed toward human information and communication capabilities that rest on a broad range of biological and behavioral attributes and the employment of technology.
The mission of the interdisciplinary doctoral program is to provide a center of excellence in graduate education and research in three related areas:
Note: Admission requirements were being revised at the time this catalog went to press. Contact the Toulouse Shool of Graduate Studies or the program for current admission requirements, or see information posted on the graduate school web site (www.tsgs.unt.edu).
Admission to the PhD program in information science is highly competitive. To maintain a student/faculty ratio necessary for program excellence, not all qualified applicants can be accepted. Prospective applicants must obtain all application forms for the program from the program offices located in the School of Library and Information Sciences. All required materials must be filed by February 1, preceding the fall semester for which the student is applying and by September 1 for spring admission. In addition to the admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies, the following are required for admission to the interdisciplinary PhD program in information science.
1. Possession of a master's degree in an information related field from an accredited institution.
2. Completion of an application form for admission to the program.
3. Resume.
4. An example of formal writing (published paper, major term paper, etc.).
5. A personal statement giving the applicant's career objectives, research interests and specific qualifications to pursue doctoral work.
6. Three letters of recommendation.
7. A superior academic record in prior study.
8. An acceptable score on the combined verbal and quantitative sections of the Graduate Record Examination.
9. For international students, a minimum score of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), or evidence of successful completion of a non-credit intensive course in English from the
Texas Intensive English Language Institute.
10. An interview may be required with members of the program committee of the interdisciplinary doctoral program in information science.
The course work for the program can be completed in two years of full-time study or extended over a longer period. Typically, the dissertation requires an additional year.
A student must earn a minimum of 60 semester hours of graduate credit beyond the master's degree in organized course work, directed study and research, and the dissertation. A research tool requirement also must be completed in addition to the minimum 60-hour program. Additional courses above the 60 hours also may be stipulated as needed, such as leveling courses. Students entering the program with a bachelor's degree must take at least 90 credit hours.
The number of graduate credit hours required for graduation, the distribution of credits, as well as the selection of the research tool requirement must be planned and approved under the direction of the student's major adviser. Requirements approved by the major adviser also must receive the concurrence of the student's doctoral advisory committee and be approved by the Interdisciplinary PhD Program Committee and the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. In all cases, courses counted toward the doctorate must be numbered 5000 or above.
The 60 hours (minimum), plus research tool, required for the degree are distributed among core courses, concentration, electives and dissertation research.
Electives, which must number 5000 or above, must be chosen with the approval of the student's major adviser.
The student must complete a minimum of 12 hours in Doctoral Dissertation, INFO 6950.
Doctoral students must maintain continuous enrollment in the colloquium during each semester in which they are registered for courses prior to passing the qualifying examination for admission to candidacy. Only 3 hours of credit earned in the colloquia may be included in the degree plan. Students also must maintain continuous enrollment in INFO 6950 after advancement to candidacy until the dissertation is complete.
All students will be required to choose two concentrations from the three available.
1. Information theory and design. Seminars and research in this area explore ways to structure information and knowledge for a multitude of information systems and uses. Students and faculty develop measures and methods for the evaluation and study of information systems, related communications processes, and subsequent systems application and design or redesign.
2. Information and behavior. Studies relate to human information and communication behavior and the systematic response to these behaviors by using information technologies to advance communication and learning.
3. Information policy and management. Inquiries focus on organizational behavior in respect to information and the management of information, and of the organizations and systems that handle information.
With permission of the program committee, as well as the student's doctoral advisory committee, a special concentration may be created to provide a framework of learning for a student with special research interests that do not fall into one of three listed areas.
SLIS 6945, Doctoral Seminar in Information Issues (Colloquium) (1 hour required each semester; 3 hours toward degree).
Design, 3 Hours
Statistics, 3 Hours
Elective, 3 Hours
Electives, which must number 5000 or above, must be chosen with the approval of the student's major adviser.
The student must complete a minimum of 12 hours in INFO 6950, Doctoral Dissertation.
An objective of the PhD program is to provide students with a variety of approaches to solving information problems from a number of disciplines. Therefore, no more than 18 graduate credit hours may be taken from any one academic unit in areas of concentration and electives.
A student entering the program is expected to have basic computer knowledge consisting of computer usage in society and uses of micro-packages for productivity, including word processing, databases and spread sheets. In addition, students should have programming experience in one of a variety of computer languages.
Satisfactory attainment of these background requirements will be determined by the student's adviser and the program committee. Deficiencies can be met by enrollment in a variety of courses as determined by the student's major adviser and the program committee.
Students are expected to have completed the equivalent of one of the following research methods or statistics classes upon admission to the program. If this requirement has not been met, the student will be expected to take one of the following courses as a deficiency.
Students are required to have completed basic course work in the organization of information equivalent to SLIS 5200, Fundamentals of Information Organization. If this requirement has not been met, the student will be expected to take SLIS 5200 as a deficiency.
The program committee will review annually the programs of all PhD students.
The first review for a student will be before the end of his or her first year of study, or upon completion of 18 hours of study. The review will include information made available from the student's professors and the student's grades. The student must maintain a grade average of B on all course work on the degree plan.
The program committee will vote either to let the student continue his or her studies, or to recommend to the executive committee that the student's program be discontinued. The program committee will consult with the student's major adviser and doctoral advisory committee as required. A majority vote of the program committee is required in either case.
The decision of the program committee may be appealed. Statements of procedures to be followed are available in the office of the graduate dean.
General qualifying examinations may be scheduled by the student's advisory committee when all course work as presented in the degree plan has been completed with a minimum B average, the research tool requirement has been satisfied, any deficiencies have been removed and the records have been cleared of any incomplete grades.
The examination is given in two parts: written and oral. The written part covers the subject core, methods core and each of the two areas of concentration. The format of the written examination is normally an in-house, closed-book examination, handwritten or produced on a word processor, given in four sections of four hours duration. The oral part includes questions regarding the written examination and the presentation and defense of a preliminary dissertation proposal. A formal dissertation proposal must be presented later and defended before the student's doctoral advisory committee in an open forum.
When the student has passed the qualifying examinations and a dissertation topic is approved, the advisory committee and program committee may then recommend the student for admission to candidacy for the doctorate.
The student must submit a dissertation reflecting original and independent research and representing a significant contribution to the field. The dissertation must be based on an approved proposal. When the major professor and other members of the advisory committee have reviewed the dissertation, the final examination, which normally will be primarily a defense of the dissertation, may be scheduled. The student must perform satisfactorily on the final examination and then file an application for the degree.
All Courses of Instruction are located in one section at the back of this catalog.

The big guns — and big spenders — descended on the Montage Beverly Hills Saturday night for the third-annual Sean Penn and Friends Help Haiti Home gala, presented by Giorgio Armani to benefit the J/P Haitian Relief Organization.
Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, Michael Douglas, Goldie Hawn, Chris Hemsworth and Emma Thompson were among those who helped raise about $6 million. It was the third night in a row of pre-Golden Globes celebrations, if you took Thursday's W magazine party as the weekend's unofficial start.
This story first appeared in the January 13, 2014 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"I used to work for UNICEF as an ambassador to Haiti," Roberts said. "And to see the way that Sean has made this part of his life over these years…it's a Herculean effort. To support that any time he asks is effortless."
RELATED STORY: On the Red Carpet at the Golden Globes >>
Penn spoke to reporters from the hotel's kitchen while nursing a vodka tonic. "This town has been very supportive of our organization and Haiti. I've got a lot of gratitude and no complaints," he said. Also by Penn's side was Charlize Theron. Although he didn't invoke her name, Penn credited the actress as the inspiration for the night's highest-priced auction item: an original artwork called "Decommissioned Commission" that Jeff Koons will create using Penn's disarmed gun collection. "It took a strong woman to get me to give those up," he said. Anderson Cooper got into a bidding war with Piers Morgan for the item, ultimately snatching it for $1.4 million, a bargain. "I just texted my boyfriend that we bought a piece for $1.4 million and he was like, 'What the f–k?'" Cooper said.
"We're in the middle of what's laughingly called 'awards season' but this is the first night I'm having fun," said Thompson, who was up for a Globe for her performance in "Saving Mr. Banks." Indeed, she was front and center when the night's surprise performers, U2, took the stage.
Earlier on Saturday, the British invaded the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills for the Mulberry and BAFTA L.A. Tea Party. Veterans such as Cate Blanchett, Tom Hanks, Michael Fassbender and Sandra Bullock, and first-timers like filmmaker Steve McQueen, Barkhad Abdi and Brit Marling all had the weekend's awards on their mind. Fassbender, up for a Globe for his supporting role in McQueen's "12 Years a Slave," was asked if he'd be sporting his beard on the red carpet on Sunday. "He might turn up," the actor said of his facial hair. It was for a part, he clarified. McQueen, who didn't seem fazed by his first Globe nomination — he's already picked up his share of accolades for the heart-wrenching drama — said he didn't have any preshow rituals.
"Nothing but putting my underpants on," he said.
McQueen's film is responsible for one of the breakout stars of the season, Lupita Nyong'o, who was nominated in the supporting category. She was honored that afternoon at The Mondrian's new Herringbone restaurant by Du Jour magazine, including founder Jason Binn, and a slew of notables including Michelle Dockery, Joy Bryant, Etty Lau and Perry Farrell. No stranger to fashion these days, the Kenyan beauty was elated about landing the Miu Miu spring campaign. "To see those gorgeous clothes coming down the catwalk, and then to be asked to wear them — I didn't even dream that dream, and it came true," she said.
In recent months, Nyong'o has become one of the most sought-after guests on the party circuit and she was also on hand for W magazine's party at the Chateau Marmont's penthouse suite on Thursday night along with Jared Leto, Sofia Coppola, Kate Hudson, Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst and Blanchett, who made a quick appearance before heading back out.
A small bedroom had been converted into a photo booth, where Nyong'o and Dockery took turns posing. "Can we take, like, 12 photos?" Nyong'o said as she vamped it up with two girlfriends. "This one's the sexy one," the actress said as a friend teased her, "You're not going to get laid with that photo!"

Maybe it's because I come from such a large family, but we have a lot of wedding photos that include our chuppah! The family portraits, wedding party, and of course the entire wedding ceremony! Having a chuppah (a.k.a. huppah, chuppa or Jewish wedding arch) that we absolutely love made the pictures even more special. As an added bonus, our florist used the flowers from our chuppah to decorate the bride & groom table at the reception. This had the dual benefit of lowering our costs and adding consistency to our wedding decor.
The Chuppah is a traditional Jewish wedding canopy the couple stands under during the wedding ceremony. Huppah is Hebrew for covering, and that's exactly what it is! The huppah can be a tallis held up by four poles, an extravagant display of flowers and branches, or anything in between. It symbolizes the new home the couple will share, open on all sides showing that guests are always welcome.
Because of its physical and symbolic beauty, many couples of all different cultures and religions choose to incorporate the chuppah into their wedding ceremony.
Planning to have a wedding chuppah but don't know where to begin? Here are some of our favorites.
1. Traditional Designs
Tallit Chuppah Covering
The traditional chuppah is made with a tallis (prayer shawl) help up by four poles or birch wood, like this one from photographed by EXO Photography & Cinema. While it's considered an honor to hold up a pole, they can also be fastened to the floor or grounded in a flower pot.
You can also modernize the traditional design by adding unique touches, like these hanging floral pomanders designed by The Showplace Floral & Event Design.
2. Family Heirlooms
We love the idea of turning the chuppah into a family heirloom you can cherish forever. Here are a few ways you can do this.
Tulle Chuppah
Queens Esther Hair Covers offers romantic, handmade wedding chuppahs made from tulle and bridal appliques. Brides can also get an elegant handmade wedding shawl to match!
Silk Art
Corinne Soikin Strauss from The Artist's Studio uses watercolors to paint intricate symbols and designs, reflecting the couple's personality in a chuppah to cherish forever.
Marlena Rubin Schwartzman of SilkHuppah designs hand-made silk huppahs and coordinating ketubahs. Her beautiful Tu BeShevat Chuppah commemorating the trees, flowers and birds of Spring was the inspiration for the coordinating Tu BeShevat Ketubah.
3. Fresh Takes on Floral Chuppahs
Ruby J Events created a visual masterpiece with this circular chuppah. The innovative design featured a floating ceiling that would remain in place to provide a focal point for the reception as well.
This stunning chuppah, submitted by Seaview Caterers, creates drama with strategically placed white flowers and high dome.
Wedding Canopy with Flowering Branches
In this example, cherry blossoms are accented with romantic lighting, as seen on DaringDevoted.com.
Modern Huppah Design
This sleek modern structure by Fleurs NYC is accented with bold red details.
Floral pomanders reflecting your wedding colors can make for a beautiful and unique wedding arch, like this one from Sweet Pea Event Blog.
Bright & Colorful
A clean row of dramatic blooms can be the statement piece of your wedding ceremony, like this example from Project Wedding.
Don't forget to consider the setting. This wedding arch and the coordinating aisle decor beautifully reflect the colors of the surrounding water, sky and sand while creating a standout ceremony space! EXO Photography & Cinema captured the beauty and serenity of the moment.
4. Unique Details
Huppah Chandeliers
We're loving the trend of incorporating elegant chandeliers into the wedding ceremony decor!

5. Creative Lighting
This LED enhanced canopy by DaVinci Florist adds a striking look to the wedding ceremony.
Unique Huppahs
Artison Flowers creates drama with innovative lighting and strategically placed florals.
Check out Artison Flowers on mazelmoments.
6. Innovative Materials
Sculptural Work of Art
Sculptor Andrea Cohen of Chuppah Studio creates gorgeous art pieces, providing the perfect setting for your nuptials.
Wire Inspired Chuppah
This Wire-Inspired Canopy by Beautiful Blooms uses calla lilies to add softness and romance to the look.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A British businessman was abducted Saturday in Lagos, a rare case of expatriate kidnapping in this West African nation's commercial center, Nigerian police said Tuesday.
Nigeria's police spokesman Frank Mba told The Associated Press that kidnappers probably followed their victim as he was leaving a nightclub in Victoria Island, one of Lagos' most exclusive and safest neighborhoods, at about 11 p.m.
Mba would not say if the kidnappers had demanded a ransom and did not give any other details.
The U.K. and U.S. governments had mentioned the kidnapping in separate security warnings issued Sunday, leaving out the victim's nationality.
Kidnappings for ransom are common in Nigeria, but most have occurred in its oil-rich southern delta. Lagos, a city of 17.5 million inhabitants, is in the country's southwest.
Mba said police are investigating, saying, "Lagos does not have a reputation for kidnappings and we want to keep it that way."
In recent years, Nigeria has had a spate of ransom kidnappings, which usually last for a few days and which have focused on the country's oil-rich region. However, Nigeria's north has also started to see politically-motivated kidnappings which typically last much longer. Kidnappings there have been linked to Islamic extremist groups rather than criminal gangs.
Britain's Foreign Office said in a statement Tuesday that "there is no indication of terrorist involvement at this stage." The statement did not confirm the victim's nationality or provide any new details.
The kidnapping comes a week after men claiming to be members of the radical Boko Haram Islamic network said in an unverified video that they would not free a kidnapped French family unless Nigeria and Cameroon freed all the group's members from their jails. The family was kidnapped on Feb. 19 in Cameroon, near the border with northern Nigeria.

Hi. I am new to this forum, and am collecting Greek courses for future studies. I would like some advice on the above course.
My professor recommended the older version of the course, i.e., the original by Schoder and Horrigan. He did not mention the revised version by Lesile Edward, so I am not sure if he was aware of it. As the publisher stated on their website that the two courses may be quite different, I would like to know what are the major differences, and if the revised version has better or worse quality.
Thank you.

Record number Native Hawaiian Law Certificates awardedUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Posted: May 17, 2011
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's William S. Richardson School of Law graduated 15 law students with the Native Hawaiian Law Certificate at its annual Spring commencement ceremony held on Sunday, May 15. Last year, seven law students graduated with this distinction.
The 15 awardees are diverse and composed of both Native Hawaiian and non-Native Hawaiian students: Natasha Baldauf, Amy Brinker, Elena Bryant, Maria Carmichael, Amanda Donlin, Mark Jensen, Ha'aheo Kaho'ohalahala, Ryan Kanaka'ole, Sarah Kaopuiki, Kekoa Keiley, Christopher Leong, Ann Otteman, Jeannin-Melissa Russo, Sherilyn Tavares, and Alexa Zen.
Students contributed to both the community and the law school in several ways:
Students contributed to both the community and the law school in several ways:
Baldauf and Kaho'ohalahala conducted community presentations for Hawai'i's rural and farming communities regarding water law with law professor Kapua Sproat. During these presentations, Ka Huli Ao's water primer was also distributed to attendees.
Brinker has been recognized as spear-heading the legislative effort to "legalize pa'i'ai" and for founding indigenizethelaw.com by successfully advocating for passage of Senate Bill 101. SB 101 now waits for Governor Abercrombie's approval.
Donlin interned at Kahea: the Hawaiian-Environmental Alliance and the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation. These two organizations are public-interest law firms in Hawai'i.
Zen volunteered on the Leona Kalima case against the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.
Law students pursuing the Native Hawaiian Law Certificate enroll in a variety of classes. The new graduates' employment plans include: working for the Hawai'i judiciary, private firms, the military (Judge Advocate General), the federal government, and non-profits.
Established with federal funding in 2005 at the William S. Richardson School of Law, Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian is an academic center that promotes education, scholarship, community outreach and collaboration on issues of law, culture and justice for Native Hawaiians and other Pacific and Indigenous peoples. Law Professor Melody Kapilialoha MacKenzie serves as the Director of Ka Huli Ao, and is also among the Law School's first graduates.

ACME: Wapak wraps up with win
CONVOY — Wapakoneta is beginning to master the art of the sixth-inning rally.
And while that may not be good for coach Nick Sammetinger's blood pressure, it's good for the win column.
For the second night in a row, Wapak had to come from behind to win, scoring a pair of runs in the sixth inning on its way to a 6-3 win over Crestview in an ACME baseball game Wednesday in Convoy.
On Tuesday, Wapak scored three times in the sixth in a comeback win over New Bremen.
Wednesday night's rally erased a 3-1 deficit after five innings. Wapak scored three times in the sixth to take a 4-3 lead and added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh.
It was the regular season finale for Wapak (15-2). Sectional tournament play begins Friday at Hanover Street Park in Minster. Wapak plays New Bremen at 6 p.m.
"As I told the team tonight after the game, we now begin our second season and 15-2 means nothing," Sammetinger said. "We must come ready to play all seven innings each game and keep focus. During the tournament, the best teams take advantage of other teams weaknesses."
Chandler Kaeck provided the fireworks with a two-run home run. Kaeck was 2-for-2 with a walk, two RBIs and two runs scored.
Wapak mustered just six hits. Andrew Hines went 1 for 3 with two RBIs and scored once.
"We continue to get behind in the count at the plate," Sammetinger said. "However, tonight we saw 75-percent off-speed stuff."
Alex Koch picked up the win. He threw the final 2 2/3 innings, shutting Crestview out. He gave up three hits while striking out two and walking one. Koch is 1-0 on the season.
Marshall Gerlach started on the mound and threw one inning, allowing two hits and one earned run.
Caleb Zweibel relieved Gerlach in the second and pitched 3 1/3 innings. He yielded two runs, both unearned, on just two hits.
"Tonight was more of a tune-up again for two pitchers who have not thrown a lot," Sammetinger said. "Also, we gave Marshall Gerlach 20 pitches to keep his arm in shape and ready for the weekend."
Either Gerlach or Brandon Miller is expected to start on Friday.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – An American university student is the new Miss Universe, bringing the crown back to the U.S. after a drought of more than a decade.
Twenty-year-old Olivia Culpo won the title Wednesday night in Las Vegas, replacing outgoing champion Leila Lopes of Angola and beating out 88 competitors from six continents.
Miss Philippines, Janine Tugonon, came in second, while Miss Venezuela, Irene Sofia Esser Quintero, was third.
Culpo's coronation ends a long losing spell for the U.S. in the competition co-owned by Donald Trump and NBC. An American had not won the Miss Universe title since Brook Lee won in 1997.
Culpo won her state contest in a rented $20 dress with a hole in it and then began working out, dieting, and studying current events on flashcards to compete for the Miss USA crown.
After her win Wednesday, Culpo told reporters she hoped to bring the country some good news in the wake of last week's deadly school shooting in Connecticut.
"It's such an honour to be representing the U.S.A. in an international beauty contest in spite of all the tragedy that's happened in this country lately," she said. "I really hope that this this will raise everybody's spirits a little."
The daughter of two professional musicians, Culpo has played the cello alongside world-renowned classical musician Yo-Yo Ma and followed in her parents' footsteps with performances at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Her father called her the "nerdiest" of her siblings, and her brother recalled that she was "really chubby and sort of weird when she was younger."
They speculated that the same single-mindedness that helped her master the cello as a child propelled her rapid rise through the beauty pageant ranks.
As Miss Universe, Culpo will receive an undisclosed salary, a wardrobe fit for a queen, a limitless supply of beauty products, and a luxury apartment in New York City.

The Flamethrowers (Hardcover)
Named a Best Book of 2013 by The New York Times; Vogue; O, The Oprah Magazine; Time; Bookish; New York magazine; The New Yorker; Slate; Flavorwire; Publishers Weekly; Kirkus Reviews; Salon; and Complex. Rachel Kushner's The Flamethrowers, a finalist for the National Book Award, was just named a Top Ten Book of 2013 by the New York Times Book Review and one of Time magazine's top ten fiction books. Kushner's first novel, Telex from Cuba, was also a finalist for a National Book Award and was reviewed on the cover of The New York Times Book Review. The Flamethrowers, even more ambitious and brilliant, is the riveting story of a young artist and the worlds she encounters in New York and Rome in the mid-1970s--by turns underground, elite, and dangerous. The year is 1975 and Reno--so-called because of the place of her birth--has come to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity in the art world--artists have colonized a deserted and industrial SoHo, are staging actions in the East Village, and are blurring the line between life and art. Reno meets a group of dreamers and raconteurs who submit her to a sentimental education of sorts. Ardent, vulnerable, and bold, she begins an affair with an artist named Sandro Valera, the semi-estranged scion of an Italian tire and motorcycle empire. When they visit Sandro's family home in Italy, Reno falls in with members of the radical movement that overtook Italy in the seventies. Betrayal sends her reeling into a clandestine undertow. The Flamethrowers is an intensely engaging exploration of the mystique of the feminine, the fake, the terrorist. At its center is Kushner's brilliantly realized protagonist, a young woman on the verge. Thrilling and fearless, this is a major American novel from a writer of spectacular talent and imagination.
Praise For…
"I loved Rachel Kushner's The Flamethrowers."
-Jonathan Franzen
"Rachel Kushner's fearless, blazing prose ignites the 70s New York art scene and Italian underground of The Flamethrowers."
-Elissa Schappell
"Rachel Kushner's second novel, The Flamethrowers, is scintillatingly alive, and also alive to artifice. It ripples with stories, anecdotes, set-piece monologues, crafty egotistical tall tales, and hapless adventures: Kushner is never not telling a story… it manifests itself as a pure explosion of now: it catches us in its mobile, flashing present, which is the living reality it conjures on the page at the moment we are reading… Kushner employs a[n]…eerie confidence throughout her novel, which constantly entwines the invented with the real, and she often uses the power of invention to give her fiction the authenticity of the reportorial, the solidity of the historical…Kushner watches the New York art world of the late seventies with sardonic precision and lancing humor, using Reno's reportorial hospitality to fill her pages with lively portraits and outrageous cameos…[Kushner's] novel is an achievement precisely because it resists either paranoid connectedness or knowing universalism. On the contrary, it succeeds because it is so full of vibrantly different stories and histories, all of them particular, all of them brilliantly alive."
-James Wood
"The Flamethrowers unfolds on a bigger, brighter screen than nearly any recent American novel I can remember. It plays out as if on Imax, or simply higher-grade film stock…Ms. Kushner can really write. Her prose has a poise and wariness and moral graininess that puts you in mind of ….Robert Stone and Joan Didion…[Kushner has] a sensibility that's on constant alert for crazy, sensual, often ravaged beauty…persuasive and moving…provocative."
-Dwight Garner
"Life, gazed at with exemplary intensity over hundreds of pages and thousands of sentences precision-etched with detail—that's what The Flamethrowers feels like. That's what it is. And it could scarcely be better. The Flamethrowers is a political novel, a feminist novel, a sexy novel, and a kind of thriller…Virtually every page contains a paragraph that merits—and rewards—rereading."
-Tom Bissell
"Rachel Kushner's new novel, The Flamethrowers, is a high-wire performance worthy of Philippe Petit. On lines stretched tight between satire and eulogy, she strolls above the self-absorbed terrain of the New York art scene in the 1970s, providing a vision alternately intimate and elevated…[Kushner is] a superb recent-historical novelist…20 brilliant pages [of The Flamethrowers] could make any writer's career: a set piece of New York night life that's a daze of comedy, poignancy and violence…What really dazzles…is her ability to steer this zigzag plot so expertly that she can let it spin out of control now and then…The Flamethrowers concludes with two astonishing scenes: one all black, one all white, as striking as any of the desert photographs Reno aspires to shoot, but infinitely richer and more evocative. Hang on: This is a trip you don't want to miss."
-Ron Charles
"[A] big, rich wonder of a novel… [Kushner's] polychrome sentences…are shot through with all the longing and regret you find in those of Thomas Pynchon, whose influence is all over this novel… a glittering, grave, brutally unsentimental book that's spectacularly written enough to touch greatness."
-Craig Seligman
"Exhilarating…it's impossible not to be pulled in by the author's sense of the period's vitality…the novel's brilliance is in its understanding of art's relationship to risk, and in its portrait of Reno's—and New York's—age of innocence."
-Megan O'Grady
"[A] brilliant lightning bolt of a novel…The Flamethrowers is an entire world, intimately and convincingly observed, filled with characters whose desires feel true. It is also an uncannily perceptive portrait of our culture—psychologically and philosophically astute, candid about class, art, sex and the position of women—with a deadly accuracy that recalls the young Joan Didion, and that, despite the precisely rendered historical backdrop, gives the story a timeless urgency."
-Maud Newton
"A white-hot ember of a book…"
-David Ulin

Stripper Claims Ravens Bernard Pierce Threatened to Kill Their Unborn Child (Texts)
Technology can be a scary thing.
You don't know what is real and what is fake anymore. People can alter text messages, photos and even video these days. So, I will let you decide if this text messages allegedly sent by Ravens Bernard Pierce to stripper Jhonni Blaze is legit or not.
Now, the name Jhonni Blaze might ring a bell with you because she was the stripper who almost had a miscarriage while twerking on stage (I am sure she will be a great mother).
By the way, she is from Houston so you know what that means………….
